but in Mail Version 16005.10827.20186.0 - in Account Settings - the change Sync Settings is greyed out (this is where I assume the setting to remove mail would be
any tips??
I gave up on POP3 accounts ages ago and now just use IMAP accounts which enable you to synch mail across multiple devices.
POP3 accounts actually download the mail to your computer so there is no need to leave mail on the server
It's a pain for me as a small independent web host as I have to pay for storage space and an email account can run to many gigabytes over time if mail (including attachments) are left on the server
thats why i run very few iMap accounts on my server
That guide is 3 years out of date. Some detail is not quite right.
The Sync only applies to IMAP accounts.
You should select IMAP when setting up the Email Account for the functionality you require. There is no local Email folder when using the Win 10 Mail App it is a relatively simple application.
The options you mention for POP, you may need to get to your Email Account the Webmail way.
"POP3 accounts actually download the mail to your computer so there is no need to leave mail on the server"
This is the Windows 10 Mail App which is rather simple and limited functionality.
